String of Dolphins: With leaves that look like playful little dolphins mid-leap, this quirky succulent will make waves in your plant collection. Perfect for hanging planters or trailing shelves, it’s sure to bring a splash of whimsy to any room. Also known as Dolphin Necklace or Flying Dolphins, this Senecio is all about chill, beachy vibes without any sand in your shoes. Plant Care Notes String of Dolphins is happiest basking in bright, indirect sunlight. It can handle a bit of direct sun, but too much will leave those dolphins a little crispy—aim for gentle morning rays or filtered light for best results. This plant is not a fan of the cold, so bring them inside a warm, cozy space if temps start to dip below freezing. Water infrequently with a soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out completely before giving it another drink. In winter, cut back on watering—this pod of dolphins likes to hibernate a bit during the colder months. For soil, go with a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Want to grow your own dolphin pod? Propagation is smooth sailing! Snip a healthy section of vine, let it callous over for a few days, and plant it in fresh soil. Before long, you’ll have a pod of playful dolphins trailing through your home.
